204 WebSphere Portal Express and Express Plus V5 for the IBM Eserver iSeries Server

WebSphere Portal - Express Plus for Multiplatforms V5.0.2 includes two Lotus products:

򐂰 IBM Lotus QuickPlace for iSeries 3.01 (QuickPlace)

򐂰 IBM Lotus Sametime 3.1 for iSeries (Sametime)

In addition to these products, WebSphere Portal includes several Lotus portlets and

Collaboration Center Version 5.0.

This chapter provides:

򐂰 Extensive discussion about the techniques and issues for integrating Lotus products with

WebSphere Portal - Express Plus for Multiplatforms V5.0.2

򐂰 A complete scenario for deploying Lotus Collaboration Components and creating a

WebSphere Portal instance that integrates Lotus products

Prior to performing the steps as explained in this chapter, you must install and configure IBM

Lotus QuickPlace 3.0.1 for iSeries and IBM Lotus Sametime 3.1 for iSeries. See Appendix A,

“Installing, configuring Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing, Lotus Team

Workplace” on page 383, to help you with these tasks.

6.1 Integration scenarios

This section discusses issues that are related to using Lotus Domino and Lotus Collaborative

products within the WebSphere Portal environment. It discusses several scenarios that are

related to having the Lotus Collaborative products work cohesively within the WebSphere

Portal framework and the configuration of Domino Directory Assistance in this environment.

This section focuses on using the native facilities in WebSphere Portal and Domino to provide

a SSO experience.

6.1.1 Scenario overview

There are many options to establish SSO between WebSphere and Domino. This chapter

presents several scenarios that are representative of the variety of environments found at

customer sites. If you have an existing environment, read the section that most closely

matches your environment. If you are creating a new environment, read all of the sections and

select the scenario that delivers the functionality you want.

The scenarios fall into two categories:

򐂰 One Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory serving both WebSphere

Portal and Domino

This category represents the environments where a single LDAP directory is used for

WebSphere Portal and Domino servers.

It is possible to use a Domino as the LDAP server for an entire enterprise. The Domino

server provides support for LDAP, which can be used for authentication from WebSphere

Portal, Domino, Sametime, QuickPlace, and other applications.

IBM Lotus QuickPlace and Sametime name change: Since this redbook was written,

the names Sametime and QuickPlace have changed. The new names are

Lotus Instant

Messaging and Web Conferencing

(Sametime) and Lotus Team Workplace (QuickPlace),

as noted previously in this redbook. Considering the nature of this chapter, we maintain the

original names to reflect what is in WebSphere Portal - Express Plus for Multiplatforms

V5.0.2
